Lyrics and translation Banton - Todo Esta Caro Mi Abuelo

Todo Esta Caro Mi Abuelo

Sho que amargado
Ya yo estoy cansado de usted con el mismo
Cosa tiene que empezar a presentarme toda las
Facturas porque falta mas compra en estas bolsa
No estamos en 1940 estamos en 2010 cero estrés

Mi abuelo dice estar cansado de lo mismo cree que le
Cobro por hacerle oficio que manipulo compras para
Mi beneficio gasto en guaro en gym para yo hacer ejercicio

No tomo ni fumo yo no tengo vicio eso el lo sabe desde
Uno inicio tiene que darse cuenta que 1940 y 2010 no
Son lo mismo

Caro, todo esta caro mi nieto me dice que todo
Esta caro no trae vuelto del supermercado sospecho
Que gasta mi plata en guaro
Todo esta caro lo unico que dice es que todo esta caro
Cara de barro hasta que me lleva al supermercado y
Por poco ami me da un rasparo

Dice que me va a llevarme pa que yo compre lo mio
Voy al mercado agarro un carretillo empiezo a ver precio
Porque no confio me fijo y que es esto por la dios mio

Bolsa de arroz 1980, 1000 el frijol, 900 el pan, kilo
De huevos 1790 y conflek's 2570, papel higienico 2420,
2405 el sal y la avena 2250, detergente 3580 y abon pa
Bañar 470 a la pu@!#% como yo paga mi renta si 2 litros
De coca son 1240, spaguetti 1255 y un bolsa de azucar 1150
, 3095 el pollo y un sopa maggi 780, bisteck popular 3650
Deme el que nadie conose y mas barato en preventa

Caro, todo esta caro mi nieto me dice que todo esta
Caro no trae vuelto del supermercado sospecho que gasta
Mi plata en guaro
Todo esta caro lo unico que dice es que todo esta caro cara
De barro hasta que me lleva al supermercado y por poco ami
Me da un rasparo

Ni me acuerdo de cuanto fue la ultima pension que tube
Solo se que el precios estan por las nube a cada rato
Sube alimento pero que raro que el salario del tico no
Sube sube la tarifa de taxi tarifa de bus que el
Gobierno quieren hacer con nosotros por amor esus
Hay mucho monopolio empezando por fuerza y luz cobran
Lo que les dan la gana y por eso ami cada rato me cortan
La luz y todos dice que el ice es un @#%! 37 y a los
Celulares les puso la cruz y un poco mas por
Desconeccion y reconeccion del a y a porque de dinero
No hay flujo ahora comer atun y salchichon es un lujo
No lo creeria si me cuenta un brujo

Caro, todo esta caro mi nieto me dice que todo
Esta caro no trae vuelto del supermercado sospecho
Que gasta mi plata en guaro
Todo esta caro lo unico que dice es que todo esta
Caro cara de barro hasta que me lleva al supermercado
Y por poco ami me da un rasparo

Yo pensando que el nieto mio estaba robando el plata
De mi cuando yo veo que el gobierno tiene el precio
Por arriba de las nubes man
Yo tenia muchos años de no hacer compra pero... yo
No se si ese señor pepe figueres tiene que bajar los
Precios... quien ahh laura chinchilla yo no se quien
Esta de presidente ahora yo me acuerdo del tiempo
De antes man

Pero los ticos estan malo con todo esto que esta
Pasando man mucho mucho abuso de la confianza man
Los salarios no sube yo la pension mia ni alcanza para
Nada ya man

Sho...

Everything Is Expensive, My Grandpa

Man, I'm bitter,
I'm tired of you with the same old story.
You need to start showing me all the receipts,
because there's not enough groceries in these bags.
We're not in 1940, we're in 2010, zero stress.

My grandpa says he's tired of the same thing, thinks I'm
Charging him for doing chores, that I'm manipulating purchases for
My own benefit, spending on booze and the gym to exercise.

I don't drink or smoke, I have no vices, he's known that since
Day one. He needs to realize that 1940 and 2010 are not
The same.

Expensive, everything is expensive, my grandson tells me everything
Is expensive. He doesn't bring back change from the supermarket, I suspect
He spends my money on booze.
Everything is expensive, the only thing he says is that everything is expensive,
Mud face, until he takes me to the supermarket and
Almost gives me a heart attack.

He says he's going to take me so I can buy my own stuff.
I go to the market, grab a cart, start looking at prices
Because I don't trust, I look closely, and what is this, by God!

Bag of rice 1980, 1000 for beans, 900 for bread, kilo
Of eggs 1790 and cereal 2570, toilet paper 2420,
2405 for salt and oats 2250, detergent 3580 and soap to
Bathe 470, damn it, how do I pay my rent if 2 liters
Of Coke are 1240, spaghetti 1255 and a bag of sugar 1150,
3095 for chicken and a Maggi soup 780, popular steak 3650,
Give me the one nobody knows and the cheapest on pre-sale.

Expensive, everything is expensive, my grandson tells me everything is
Expensive. He doesn't bring back change from the supermarket, I suspect he spends
My money on booze.
Everything is expensive, the only thing he says is that everything is expensive, mud
Face, until he takes me to the supermarket and almost gives me
A heart attack.

I don't even remember how much my last pension was,
I only know that prices are through the roof, constantly
Food goes up, but how strange that the Tico's salary doesn't
Go up, taxi fares go up, bus fares go up, what does the
Government want to do with us? For the love of Jesus,
There's a lot of monopoly, starting with electricity, they charge
Whatever they want, and that's why they cut off my electricity all the time.
Everyone says the ICE is a @#%! 37 and they've put a cross on
Cell phones, and a little more for
Disconnection and reconnection of the a and a because there's no
Money flow, now eating tuna and sausage is a luxury,
I wouldn't believe it if a witch told me.

Expensive, everything is expensive, my grandson tells me everything
Is expensive. He doesn't bring back change from the supermarket, I suspect
He spends my money on booze.
Everything is expensive, the only thing he says is that everything is
Expensive, mud face, until he takes me to the supermarket
And almost gives me a heart attack.

I was thinking my grandson was stealing my money,
When I see that the government has the prices
Above the clouds, man.
I haven't done grocery shopping for many years, but... I
Don't know if that Mr. Pepe Figueres has to lower the
Prices... who, ah, Laura Chinchilla? I don't know who
Is president now, I remember the time
From before, man.

But the Ticos are bad with all this that's
Happening, man, a lot of abuse of trust, man.
Wages don't go up, my pension isn't enough for
Anything anymore, man.

Man...
